Features
As an experienced professional, to measure long distances you need a tape measure that can withstand heavy-duty use every single day. The LBM 1000 STEEL combines several advantages: a shatterproof Y-reel, a rugged steel blade to protect the scale, and a universal hook for variable attachment options. Depending on the situation and application, you can choose between the fold-out metal hook with STABILA SPIKES coating, an integrated eyelet, or the large plastic ring with a nail groove. Suitable for use with either hand by simply switching the crank.Metal hook
Ergonomic softgrip handle for comfortable handling.
Extremely resistant STABILA NYLON-WRAP coating protects the blade against corrosion and wear.
STABILA UNIVERSAL SPIKES HOOK: variable attachment options thanks to a fold-out SPIKES hook with an integrated eyelet and large, shatterproof plastic ring with a nail groove – for a secure hold when pulling the blade.
STABILA SPIKES coating improves resistance to slipping on smooth surfaces and when measuring over long distances.
The eyelet integrated into the hook enables quick release.
STABILA CRANK CHANGE – crank easily switches from right-handed to left-handed operation.
Clever plastic ring: easy to calculate the measured length – approx. 3/4 inch between zero and the notch, approx. 2 inches between zero and where the ring starts.
The 0 is at the beginning of the blade clasp
